The NaturalBeautyCampaign is a day of product-sampling and information for all students at Ithaca College about organic, local, and natural health products such as mouthwash, makeup, soap, shampoo, toothpaste, tampons, shaving gel, mascara, and more. This event, co-hosted by I.C. Feminists and the I.C. Environmental Society with help from Colleges Against Cancer will focus on the dangerous toxicity levels in 'mainstream' natural health/beauty products, and where students can find healthier, more sustainable alternatives.

Featuring try-it stations for toothpaste, cosmetics, shampoo, soaps, conditioners, lotions, deoderant, herbal remedies, and much more!, organic fruit facial rubs, how-to Yoga Sessions, a FREE Local Foods Lunch during the Lunch Hour, and special guest speaker Sandra Steingraber, author of "Living Downstream: An Ecologist Looks at Cancer and the Environmentz' Steingraber is a biologist, poet, and survivor of cancer in her twenties, and brings all three perspectives to bear on the most important health and human rights issue of our time: the growing body of evidence linking cancer to environmental contamination.

FREE CATERED LUNCH BY GREENSTAR 12-1PM

Make-up sampling, product sampling, delicious local foods during the lunch hour, and a speaker who will discuss the importance of paying attention to the chemicals in your product, to the messages mainstream health media send to us, the effect an unnatural beauty standard has on men, women, and children, and how we can begin to accept and put our money towards a more 'natural' kind of daily beauty.

ps: This event is geared towards the student body REGARDLESS of gender! While we do have some cosmetic gear, the majority of the program is focused on products and information for anyone interested in physical appearance, self-worth, and health/beauty/hygiene products.
